Headlight cleaning
« on: 15 November 2013, 20:45:28 »

I geuss this is a long discussed matter but I had a car come in to work today with yellowed lights so i masked around the surrounding area with duct tape and took to them with 600/800/1200 wet grit paper in that order and then hit them with a cutting compound and then put a nano coat on them and they came out like new and only took around 10 minutes each maybe this will help someone on here as i know the pre facelifts have this problem.

As do F/L's.

I do the same thing.  Wet sand with 600, and then 1200.  I use a mop to polish the lenses with a light cutting compound.

It's not a long lasting solution though - 6 months at best - but, can be done several times before lenses need replacing.
